Kirstie's Vintage Home - Premiere

Kirstie's Vintage Home, Episode 01

Episode Synopsis

Episode 01What do you do when your house is more shabby than chic and you'd rather throw out than make-do and-mend?

In her six-part series Kirstie's Vintage Home, the queen of crafts, Kirstie Allsopp, invites hopeless households to her own vintage café to teach them new skills to inject a bit of style into their homes.

Her 'students' are severely lacking in the homemaking skills department - whether they live in a cluttered hell or a characterless utilitarian box, they are all in need of a bit of vintage craft magic from Kirstie and her team.

First up are Colin Webster and Amber Moss who are all at sea when it comes to creating their perfect home. The couple's 60s maisonette, near Edinburgh's 'secret beach', should be a groovy pad for this fun loving young couple. Instead it is drowning in oceans of clutter as the pair juggles a new baby, busy lives and a tendency towards panic buying online bargains.

Kirstie's on hand to help them craft their way from desperate mess to 'des res'.

With help from Britain's top designers and artists, they uncover classic techniques and use cutting edge materials to create 60s inspired interiors.

They make a memory quilt for the bedroom, bespoke orb lights for the sitting room, and Kirstie shows how to shop smart when it comes to vintage buys.
